Xbox 360 hits 57.6 million units shipped, worldwide

Tucked inside Microsoft's latest earnings report for fiscal Q1 2012 comes an updated figure on the worldwide Xbox 360 numbers: 57.6 million shipped. The most recent quarter, ended September 30, accounted for 2.3 million units shipped, a 2.8% decrease from the same period last year. Despite that dip in sales, the Xbox 360 has been the top selling console in the US for the last seven consecutive months, and platform revenue was up 7% thanks to increased Xbox Live revenue.
